My adventures in knitting and designing. I'm particularly fond of mittens, Christmas stockings, cables, and anything with colourwork but occasionally other things creep in too.

Recovery

We were all sick the past few days, thankfully we're getting much better now. Caleb and I got it first and are pretty much better, Joshua is a few days behind us. I've been making lots of progress on the blanket, when I'm sick I just need simple knitting and back and forth in garter stitch with a couple short row corners is just the ticket.

The blanket is 3.5' square now, and actually looks like a blanket rather than a random square. I think it could be properly called a throw at its current size. I want it to be bigger, at least 4' square, but maybe as much as 5'. Both of those sizes will require more yarn but that's not the end of the world. I have some projects that will have leftover sock yarn when I'm done with them so not all of the yarn will need to be bought. I'm still charmed by the thing.

About Me

When I was twelve I was at an aunt's cottage and saw my grandmother knitting. I asked her to teach me and after a few rough starts fell in love with it. My knitting patterns can be found
